It's been a busy week, and it's only half over! Spent Tuesday evening with Lucia and Kevin and Jason, being crafty and eating way too much cheese. Last night I went shoe shopping with Amy, tonight I'm having dinner with friends, tomorrow night I see TLWATW, Saturday night is the holiday party for which I bought shoes, Sunday is a brunch and an evening of jazz, as performed by my manager.

Speaking of the holiday party, and I know you're all dying to know, I picked up shoes like these (but with a black overstrap and muuuuuch less expensive - thank the lord for DSW) and as soon as I got home, put on the outfit. Then I tried on 3 other shirts. Then I tried them all on again, and although the oh-so-awesome pants/shoes looked great, my vast collection of red party-suitable shirts were not making me happy. I almost decided to wear a skirt - a disaster narrowly averted. Then I thought maybe I'd put on the earrings, and wham! It all came together.

Whew! Aren't you glad you know all that now?

In any case, I am a much less stressed person now. This is the one big dress-up event of my year, and I like to look nice. When you wear jeans every day ... or enough that people don't recognize you when you wear a skirt ... then dress-up ocassions are a big deal. There will be pictures. Oh yes, there will be pictures.

Anyone who likes Casual Corner should know that they're closing their stores next month, and the website is gone too, and everything is currently 50-60% off. It's sad that they're going away, but awesome that everything is so cheap!
